Four US Olympic swimmers who say they were robbed in Rio de Janeiro reportedly damaged a petrol station door during a night out, media reports say.
One Brazilian security source said they were involved in a dispute with a security guard and asked to pay for the damage.
Three of the swimmers remain in Brazil and are due to be questioned by police.
The fourth, gold medallist Ryan Lochte, returned to the US on Monday.
Before it emerged that Mr Lochte had left Brazil, a judge ordered that the four should have their passports confiscated pending further police questioning, amid reports of inconsistencies in the men's accounts of the alleged robbery.
Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were taken off a US-bound plane at Rio de Janeiro airport on Wednesday night. Team-mate James Feigen had remained in Brazil.
